Mrs. RickJay and I were laughing about “Blossom” the other day when it occurred to us that we’ve never seen Mayim Bialik (who played Blossom) in anything since.

A Web search suggests that she hasn’t been in anything, not so much as a TV commercial, since 1994. Most of her castmates have had steady work, though. (To my surprise, Giovanni Ribisi got his start on “Blossom.” I hadn’t remembered that.)

Is she dead? In rehab? Where?

Happily, she is in the UCLA neuroscience PhD program, and acting occasionally.

Last I heard (and I’m ashamed to admit I was actually curious about this) she was in college in California, majoring in something like Biology (decidedly not show biz) and apparently didn’t really mis acting that much.

she seems to be studing biology. and the imdb says she was in something in 97.

So those porn pictures with Joey Lawrence are fakes, then?

Thanks for the cites, all. I must admit to a degree of mild disappointment that she isn’t huffing nose candy and acting in pictures like _Awesome Anal Attacks XXVI_. Oh well, there’s always hope Joey Lawrence could be caught in a big smack bust.
